Do you put these directly in the muffin baking pans, or do you put them in cupcake holders first?

Unwrap bar of cream cheese place on microwave safe plate and zap for 20 seconds can do... the same with butter but zap for 8- 10 seconds or 3 to 4 second intervals...then can use cream cheese or the butter in any recipe or simply spread

made them ahead of time for an early am coffee hour. Look good. Instructions on storage would be helpful in future.

Since these contain cream cheese, I would store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

These are very good! We don't have sourdough biscuits here, so I had to use country style biscuits. I also added a bit of lemon juice to the cream cheese. Very easy, I will definitely make again

Along with or instead of the lemon juice, I would probably add lemon zest. BTW, did you use 16 REGULAR size muffin cups? That would not make them quite "bite size," as the recipe indicates.
